Beyond Reality Avoidance: Unraveling the Paradox of Escapism Through Self‐Monitoring and Autonomy Mechanisms for Consumers' Life Satisfaction

Psychology &Marketing, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT This study introduces the Paradox of Escapism, exploring how the act of escaping reality can evolve from a short‐term avoidance strategy to a mechanism for self‐regulation and enhanced life satisfaction. Employing five rigorous, multimethod investigations, including qualitative interviews and sentiment analysis (Study 1), Structural Equation ...

What's Inside the Green Bag? An Analysis of the Eco‐Design Options and a Visual Tool for the Development of Sustainable Fashion Accessories

Sustainable Development, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Integrating eco‐design practices in product development from the start is essential for fashion accessories like bags and backpacks, which involve complex manufacturing, diverse materials, and strong socio‐cultural meanings. Building on this premise and drawing from the Lifecycle Design Strategy Wheel, this study aims to characterize the eco ...

Factors influencing wintering turfgrass field use in Atlantic brant

Wildlife Biology, EarlyView.
Atlantic brant Branta bernicla hrota increasingly use turfgrass fields, such as baseball fields and golf courses, throughout their wintering range. Most studies have focused on their primary food source, submerged aquatic vegetation, while studies of other goose species worldwide have examined field use in different contexts, including agricultural ...

Branch and Bound for the 0/1 Knapsack Problem using Lagrangian Relaxation

, 2020
A Java implementation of the branch and bound algorithm for the 0/1 knapsack problem. The code uses Lagrangian relaxation to prune the search tree. It uses best first search. The Lagrangian multipliers are computed using coordinate ascent in an iterative

90 Day Fiancé: Presentations of Status Exchange on the International Marriage Market

Family Relations, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Objective This study examines power and status, as constructed by producers on the reality television show 90 Day Fiancé, that comes from being a US citizen on the international marriage market. We investigate what show producers present each partner as offering the other and what this suggests about gender and power in cross‐national ...

Enhancing Recharge Beneath Low‐Permeability Landscapes with Small‐Diameter Drywells: Token Creek, WI

Groundwater, EarlyView.
Shallow, small‐diameter drywells provide enhanced recharge in rural landscapes, bypassing the low infiltration rates caused by low permeability surficial soils and high ET rates. One year of monitoring data show several recharge events and overall high water quality.
